Activity 1
文學講座：異星語言大不同
Date August 25（Sun.）3PM - 5PM
Location Muse Garden
香港與臺灣雖然都使用繁體中文，但不少字詞在兩地有差異，例如「借花獻佛」在香港會說「借花敬佛」、「護貝」在香港會說「過膠」等，初到臺灣生活的香港人不時被認為說錯話、打錯字，甚至有溝通障礙。講者會以香港文學（包括董啟章《愛妻》、譚劍《姓司武的都得死》等）來舉例當中出現的香港用語，也會比較《偵探冰室》系列港臺版的差異，討論作品在臺灣出版時保留香港用語的用意，分享個人在出版和編輯經驗中對「保留港味」的取捨，也會透過小遊戲讓參加者猜猜一些香港特有的中文詞彙到底是什麼意思。
